What would be the toughest types of mercs/soldiers that earn their way to being the absolute highest ranks within each Faction
Let's say the Empress's Bodyguards, or the Navy Seals of Gallente, etc.
What could be a cool name for these types of elite soldiers per Faction. Feel free to inspire me
Amarr: Echelon, Templars, Chosen,
I'm of course a huge fan of the W40k mythos and always loved the concept of power curve
human>human soldier>human hero without enhancement> space marine > space marine hero > primarch > custodian (elite bodyguard) > emperor

You are mostly thinking some kind of formal FW titles so I will clarify, but a few were on the right track. It was my question so I am to blame.
I am thinking more royal guard, or special forces types of secret undercover groups, or covert mercs in the employ of the Factions.
Black Water and Halliburton are much closer to what I am thinking.
Also, I am thinking in parallel to existing or old style of behind the scenes protectors like the Swiss guard or Emperor's Custodians, even the Three Musqueteers or the French Foreign Legion.
There is also the legend of the Varangians, who were swedish vikings forming the Bodyguard of the Byzantine Emperors in Constantinople.
Then of course Seals (Black Eagles) , Rangers *could be (Pathfinders).
I am not sure where I will end up using it, but I am curious whether we have this in New Eden lore, and what is our leeway.
One Mercenary could worm himself into the Empress's bodyguard, there is nothing that says that couldnt happen, even if its not an achievable goal for every mercenary.

Mina Longstrike wrote:^So essentially we're naming groups rather than more individual/personal titles.
Stuff like maroons, musketeers, franks (after their francisca's)
Precisely
